"Elliott and Spence have produced a tight, teachable, and timely
primer on media ethics for users and creators of information in the
digital age. Pitched at just the right depth of detail to provide a
big picture contextualization of changing media practices grounded
in concerns for democracy and the public good, the book explores
and reflects the implications of the convergence of the Fourth and
Fifth Estates with an open-access, hyper-linked architecture which
invites self-reflective practice on the part of its users" Philip
Gordon, Utah Valley University 2019 PROSE Award Finalist in the
Media & Cultural Studies category! The rapid and ongoing
evolution of digital technologies has transformed the waythe world
communicates and digests information. Fueled by a 24-hour news
cycleand post-truth politics, media consumption and the
technologies that drive ithave become more influential in shaping
public opinion, and it has become more imperative than ever to
examine their social and ethical consequences. Ethics for a Digital
Era provides a penetrating analysis of the ethical issues that have
emerged as the digital revolution progresses, including
journalistic practices that impact on the truth, reliability, and
trustworthiness of communicating information. The volume explores
new methods and models for ethical inquiry in a digital world, and
maps out guidelines for web-based news producers and users to
conceptualize ethical issuesand analyze ethically questionable
acts. In each of three thematic sections, Deni Elliott and Edward
H. Spence reflect upon shifts in media ethics as contemporary mass
communication combines traditional analog practices with new forms
like blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and social media posts, and evolves
into an interactive medium with users who both produce and consume
the news. Later chapters apply a process of normative
decision-making to some of the most important issues which arise in
these interactions, and encourage users to bridge their own
thinking between the virtual and physical worlds of information and
its communication. Timely and thought-provoking, Ethics for a
Digital Era is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and
graduate students in media and mass communication, applied ethics,
and journalism, as well as general readers interested in the
ethical impact of their media consumption.
